Was told last year from someone in your tech and installation department, not to use any synthetic or pvc rug pads. This person said synthetic reacts and leaves marks on the hardwood floors. This person said use only natural rubber (not petroleum based rubber) for rug pads, as petroleum, synthetic, pvc will discolor hardwood floors. Today when spoke to customer service was told the exact opposite. What is the correct answer? Only want answer from an expert in the field who has the experience with rugs pads on Bellawood Brazillian Cherry Hardwood Floors! Also is solid or waffle design rug pad better? Please answer both questions! Thank you.

I apologize for the misinformation.The correct answer is what you were told by the tech and installation department.This 8'6" x 11' No Slip Latex Area Rug Pad is the best choice for your application (that's why we are offering it for sale)Hold rugs in place with the No Slip Latex Area Rug!

Q:

My furniture is being delivered next week and my local LL does not have a carpet pad in stock (estimated delivery is after September). When shopping for a rug pad, what should I look for to protect my new Brazilian cherry hardwood floors? I'm looking at one that has a felt surface on one side and solid rubber on the other. Or, should I look at the ones that has little holes? I think the company is Surya I also have access to WonderGrip. Thanks.
